Aug 22 Cosplay in Vancouver: AniRevo style

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to Vancouver B.C. so
this trip was long overdue. Anime Revolution 2013, the second year for this
brand new con (hence forth referred to as AniRevo) built on what was once Anime
Evolution. Going to cons all over the US from gaming cons to comic cons, the
one thing I love about the anime cons is the sheer number of cosplayers. This
con is no different with many amazing costumes and some truly jaw dropping
sights.

Most of our time was spent prowling the halls and taking photos
of the many costumed denizens of this convention. A few were super memorable
and those are the ones I am showcasing in this handy gallery below. Would you
like to see more photos from our weekend? Make sure to visit our Facebook page
(like us if you haven’t yet) and check out the full gallery.

In true Justin Prince fashion, whenever I write a cosplay
piece I pick my favorite of the con and this particular post is no different. I
met this amazing cosplayer named Taline and her costume (Shana from Legend of Dragoon) was particularly
memorable for me. I was a huge fan of the Sony produced RPG from the heyday of
PSOne and the RPG boom in the North American market (sprung on by the
popularity of the Final Fantasy franchise after VII). Seeing Taline in her
costume brought back some very fond memories, I was almost brought to tear remembering such an amazing game that holds a special place in my geeky little heart. Hard to believe it was
almost 14 years ago that I played this game, damn I'm old.

Absolutely stunning! It's hard to say anything more, she looked
beautiful as Shana. Make sure to check her out on DeviantArt, username: Yunalescka
